TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- Authorities say a traffic accident involving a wrong-way driver has closed I-75 in Ohio not far from where a crash claimed the lives of a wrong-way driver and three college students earlier this month.

The State Highway Patrol says the crash involved a wrong-way driver, and referred additional questions to Toledo police, where details were not immediately available.

Local media outlets report that authorities say a wrong-way car collided with a Penske truck and that three people were taken to hospitals.

The accident is roughly 20 miles from where a wrong-way driver collided March 1 with a car carrying five Bowling Green University sorority sisters on their way to the Detroit airport for a spring break trip.
